No obvious structural issues from the listing, but the age suggests surprises are likely.Rehab Budget: • Low estimate = $50K (light updates) • More realistic = $75K (new kitchens/baths, flooring, paint, code updates) • High end = $100K+ if major systems need replacingRents (CMA comps): • 1BRs: ~$1,400–$1,750 each (https://prnt.sc/RMm854WPuPdk) • Stabilized Gross Rent: ~$4,200–$5,250/mo (~$50K–$63K/yr)Cap Rate: ~9% if rehab stays in the $50K–$75K range, falls closer to 7–8% if it pushes past $125KConstraints:FHA 203k requires me to live in one unit for 12 months, so only 2 units would generate rent in Year 1.With 2 units rented, cash flow looks negative (~–$600 to –$900/mo).With all 3 units rented after Year 1, cash flow flips positive (+$600–$800/mo) and grows with rent increases.My Question:For anyone who’s done a 203k or similar triplex rehab — does ~$75K sound realistic for getting this building into clean, rentable condition (floors, paint, kitchens, baths, basic systems)?
